And I thought money might be a help . . . She wanted to buy Paris clothes, travel in the moat luxurious way. When ever I said I couldn't afford a three hundred dollar gown, or twenty- live dollar nats, she always flung back that I couldn't stop her from spending her money. She was used to running around extra fare trains, the smartest nightclubs, the right resorta in the right seasons It made me feel cheap because I couldn't go, or pay her way." "Yes, I see. A girl who has been accustomed to so much money it would be hard for her to live on a Navy budget." "Yes, I know. But Just the same" He hitched in the seat. His face was drawn. He said at last, tiredly, "Well, it's over. Mar vel left me no doubt about that. She's going to Reno. Probably in Cary Tennant's private car!" "Maybe it'll blow over," Judy said, trying to sound cheerful. "Maybe Marvel will change her mind." She asked herself in wardly why she was bothering to comfort Dwlglit, why she was de fending his disloyal wife. Marvel Hastings wouldn't have defended Judy. "In a way," said Dwight, setting his jaw, "I don't want it to blow over. All these scenes, and so many things interfering with my work on the ship, are making hash of my career. She came right on board, and she we ' For a moment they both sat in silence, and then he said heavily, "If she wants a divorce, I won't stop her. I can start over. She wasn't cut out to be a Navy wife." "I'm so sorry " Judy said. Her hands were tightly clasped. He turned toward her with weary appeal. "I don't know why I I thought I could ever make her over. People never make oth er people over, do they? You're a typical Navy girl. Everything a man in the service needs. I knew that. Yes" Then he said, "I was a fool. I I didn't realize that I hurt you, too. I didn't mean to, But I I was so blind." "No," said Judy in a strangled tone. "No, Dwight. You you never hurt me. You mustn't think so. I I'm fine!" His hand touched hers. "Don't, Judy. I know. I tried to pretend to myself that all those dates of ours were only friendly. I told FLAPPER FANNY By Sylvia -con.intivMMumee.Me.

My nusDana wyi no imagination when i buy gif (, myself a man can't love two girls, and I was craiy about Marvel, But It was an infatuation. All the time I knew you were sweet and good and what I wanted. But I couldn't rid myatelf of the crazy way I wanted her." So had it been with herself, she knew, with sinking heart. Jack Hanley was kind. He was sweet to her. Good. Straightforward. Everything she ought to want. But she had never been able to rid her self of the crazy, crazy way she wanted Dwight. Even sitting here beside him even listening to his voice speak or Marvel "You shouldn't be talklne to me like this," she managed to whisper. His eyes were very honest. "Why shouldn't I?" he demanded. "It isn't too late to make things right. Is it, Judy? Is it?" Her own eyes dropped before his. "Yes. it is," she said in a low voice. "No, it's not!" He was sure! "You've been hurt, I treated you terribly. But I know that before I told you about her, you must have thought I that I c-c-cared about you. That's true, isn't it? Oh, it must be true! You were so white about it. So brave and clean! You're a thoroughbred. The way you took my change of heart proved it. But Judy" Now his face was close to hers, his arms were making a little, hesitant mo tion toward her. "Judy, we can still pick up the pieces. Salvage a little happiness for ourselves." Her heart leaped, denying the pride she ought to strengthen her self with. But her pride was there. It was part of her. It was an out raged pride, hurting bitterly. She said swiftly, "What makes you think I want to pick up the pieces. Dwight? No" she pushed at him gently. "Don't put your arms around me. You're so sure I've cried over you! Let me tell you 1 haven t! Let me tell you some thing else you don't know!" Now she was triumphant, glad to be hurting him, glad to be avenging her pride. His white, stricken face only made her speak more hur riedly. "I've always been good friends with Jack Hanley. You must knpw for years he's been me dearest inend I had. But I guess you didn't know, Dwight, that I that I'm engaged to him!" She looked into his eyes steadily. Her will, strong as steel, forced the tumult inside her to ebb. To leave nothing but this sweet feeling of having paid him back for every thing he had done to make her suf fer. "I'm going to marry Jack Hanley, Dwight. We're to be mar ried just as soon as he gets out of the hospital!" (To Be Continued) CROW SCHOOL EVENTS CROW, Dec. 12 (Special) Dr, Gardner of Eugene was out to the Crow high school last week and vaccinated practically all of the students for smallpox. The nurse returned a few days later for examination and reported the vaccination successful on all. A set of new world books 1938 edition were received recently for the school. These were badly needed as the last ones were 1827 edition. The Girls League is giving a mothers tea at the high school on Friday, December 18. IN HOSPITAL LEABURG, Dec. 12. (Special) Mri.

The governmept couldn't spend billions, so it called in young engineer Enrlau PimenUl signed him to the staggering task. He told the. state he could build the highway without pro hibitive expense. Into the jungles and over the towering heights of the Andes went PimenUl and his hardy tuff. Walking and swimming and climbing and paddling they sur veved a route out of sheer rock, over the 1 J, 000-foot backbone of the continent, down into the Equatorial jungle to the Ama zon's most westward navigable tributary, the Rio Ucayali. Following them closely, native road crews, using American ma chinerv. blasted and hacked and carved out the highway. Men were cut olt from food supplies lor weeks, subsisted on game, wild fruits snd berk. They had to learn to build roads quickly when it wss dry, chsnge their technique ss they went along, rne io.wu foot Andes were one problem the swampy jungle another. Today only 70 miles of the road remains to be graded and sur faced. In less than a yesr freight will leave the Paeine coast, travel up over the Andes snd down to the Amazon river in five days. It new takes weeks by circuitous freighter route to bridge the same lap.
